The former Lone Star teacher charged with two different counts of embezzlement from two different school districts was in court on Tuesday morning.
Myra Flores-Harmon, 37, of Sapulpa, previously pleaded not guilty to charges of embezzling nearly $30,000 from Lone Star booster clubs and $2,500 from the Kellyville Quarterback Club.
In return for pleading guilty, she was given a 5-year sentence, with all but 30 days suspended. She was taken into custody following the hearing.
Victims Speak Out
Three victim statements were read aloud at the hearing. Sapulpa Times obtained copies of two of the statements.
Lindsey Barber is a former co-worker of Flores-Harmon and served as the Booster Club President at Lone Star Schools when the embezzlement took place. Flores-Harmon served as the club’s treasurer at the time.
In her statement, Barber said she felt “shock, disbelief, and betrayal” upon learning about the embezzlement. “I believed (the defendant) was working with me for the good of our students, but instead she took advantage of that trust for personal gain,” she said.
Barber also said that, though the crime occurred in November of 2024, the school’s clubs are still feeling its effects, noting that the crime has “damaged the trust within our community.”
“Parents now hesitate to get involved,” she said. “Donors question whether their contributions will be used as intended.”
Barber concluded her statement by commenting on the “significant” emotional toll the crime had.
“As a teacher, knowing that our students are missing out on certain things is heartbreaking—especially when the reason is theft by someone we once considered a friend,” she said.
Kristin Flores—who is not related to the defendant—is the Vice President of the Kellyville Quarterback Club. In her statement, Flores lamented the defendant’s actions as harmful to the Kellyville football community, saying they “left lasting damage,” and “broken trust between our parents and our organization.”
According to Vice President Flores, the embezzlement left the organization short of the funds needed to hold its end-of-year banquet for the Kellyville football players.
“That banquet is more than just a meal—it is a tradition that celebrates the hard work, dedication, and accomplishments of our team,” she said. “It is a night where our boys are honored for the countless hours they put into representing their school and community with pride. To have that taken away from them is heartbreaking.”
“Our players, who should have been celebrated, instead learned a painful lesson about betrayal and loss,” she said.
